grass fires

As much of the country deals with the aftermath of massive floods and tornado wreckage, Amarillo residents and land owners survey the damage resulting from the massive wildfires over the last week. Houses burned to the ground, multiple evacuations and the fear that it could continue keep Amarillo area residents on edge as the this week starts.

The fire threat in Amarillo is still very high and for the third day in a row, crews battle flames. People in the Panhandle are used to these threats, but it does not make dealing with these fires any easier. The more resources are pooled into this effort, the more wore out these firefighters become.
